Returning to his residence, Yuzhu had a hasty breakfast. After taking a walk to eat, he went into the study to read and practice calligraphy.
As the saying goes, a punch never leaves your hand and a song never leaves your mouth.
The auspiciousness of the young Manchu scholar was aimed at the great achievements of Kangxi in his later years, and he liked to listen to pleasant words.
If you had known the opportunity beforehand and didn't work hard, you would be a fool!
Today's Cao family must be packed with guests and distinguished friends. Naturally, Yuzhu is unwilling to go to celebrate his birthday too early, otherwise he will fall into endless trouble.
However, what Ling Yuzhu didn't expect was that Cao Yong came to visit early and personally invited him to stay as a guest.
Yuzhu thought for a moment and realized that if General Jiangning's Mansion didn't send someone to come forward, the birthday of Mrs. Sun of the Cao Mansion would definitely be disgraceful.
After changing clothes, Yuzhu took two generous gifts and, accompanied by Cao Yong personally, took the carriage of the General's Mansion and went to Cao's Mansion in a swaggering manner.
Today, in front of the Cao Mansion, there are lanterns and colorful decorations, traffic is busy, and there are many distinguished guests. It is very lively.
"General Jiangning's Mansion, Mr. Yu has arrived." The concierges of the Cao Mansion deliberately raised their voices and shouted Yu Zhu's name in unison.
Cao Yong had already made arrangements, and the carriage from the General's Mansion drove directly into the gate of Cao's Mansion and stopped steadily outside the Chuihua Gate.
"Little ones, please be safe, Mr. Yu."
"Servants, please be safe, Mr. Yu."
As soon as Yuzhu landed from the carriage, he saw a large number of Cao's servants kneeling down in front of the Chuihua Gate.
"Brother, please follow me." Cao Yong led the way diligently, leading Yuzhu along the central axis of the mansion gate and walking all the way in.
As Yuzhu walked, he admired the beautiful scenery along the way. He saw that the entire gate of the mansion was decorated with flowers, and the wealth was overwhelming.
The servants of the Cao family, whether they are slaves or maids, are all dressed in brocade, silk, gold and jade, but no one is wearing a cotton-padded jacket.
Well, the Cao family has incurred such a huge deficit and is still so extravagant. It’s like they don’t know how to live or die!
This family should have been defeated long ago!
Jiangning Weaving Mansion occupies a very large area, and Yuzhu walked for half a quarter of an hour before arriving at the door of Xuan Ruitang.
"Old Ancestor, Second Master Yu from General Jiangning's Mansion is here to wish you a happy birthday." The eldest girl guarding the door of Xuanrui Hall raised the curtain and loudly announced inside with a smile.
Soon, a teenage boy in brocade clothes came out from Xuan Rui Hall.
He walked quickly to Yuzhu, asked for greetings, and said respectfully: "My little brother Cao Fu, please greet Brother Yu."
This meeting etiquette is a bit nondescript and seems very uneducated.
Saying hello to Zha Qian is a courtesy for Aha to pay respects to the Manchu nobles. When you say Brother Yu, you should bow your hands and bow.
The etiquette of half-full and half-man is rare in the world and completely messed up.
Yuzhu didn't bother to care about the futile etiquette, and stared at Cao Fu curiously.
Hey, the young man in front of me should be the prototype of Jia Baoyu, right?
Cao Yong remained calm on his face, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied with his cousin Cao Fu. Today, Yuzhu represents General Qingtai of Jiangning, and his status is extremely noble. How dare Cao Fu arbitrarily address himself as a brother?
It's just that Cao Fu has been under the knee of Mrs. Sun since he was a child, and he has long been spoiled to the point of becoming famous.
In the Cao family, even the head of the family, Cao Yin, did not dare to care about Cao Fu's affairs, let alone his equal Cao Yong?
After greeting each other, Yuzhu was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, Cao Fu screamed, "Sister, you are so handsome, much more beautiful than Qingwen next to me. ."
Yuzhu turned his head and saw that, my dear, Cao Fu was staring at the beautiful Lin Yan'er, his eyes unblinking in a daze.
Cao Yong's nose was almost crooked with anger. When did it happen that Cao Fu went out of his way to provoke the beautiful maid next to Yuzhu?
Yuzhu deliberately brought Lin Yan'er here just to dig a hole for Cao Fu and to see if there was Qingwen who was like a hibiscus flower god beside him?
If so, Yuzhu naturally wanted to take the opportunity to meet Qingwen to satisfy his overwhelming curiosity.
"Qingwen, cough, this is a good name. It's much better than a common name like Yan'er." Yuzhu gently shook the folding fan and deliberately led Cao Fu to speak.
Cao Yonggang wanted to stop her, but Cao Fu said quickly: "Come here, call Qingwen. Let her know that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people."
Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction. In the whole Dream of Red Mansions, the one he wanted to see most was Qingwen.
It is such a pity that the hibiscus flower god, who is as clean as white paper, has lost its fragrance.
Cao Yong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. His ancestors were still waiting to see Yuzhu. The murder case involving Cao Quan has not yet been resolved, but Cao Fu was dragging Yuzhu here. He simply didn't know whether he would live or die.
Regarding Cao Quan's matter, Qingtai made it clear in private that Yuzhu would have full authority to make the decision.
It's just that a Han bannerman died. It can be light or serious, big or small, it all depends on whether Yuzhu wants to do this favor.
The Cao family is the one who is worried about what Cao Quan did. What should Yuzhu be worried about?
Soon, Qingwen came. Cao Fu smiled and said: "Come on, come here quickly."
Qingwen walked up to Cao Fu, bowed her head and knelt down to salute, and said in a sweet voice, "I have met Fourth Master Fu."
Yuzhu smiled slightly, that's right, it's not the Second Master Bao, but the Fourth Master Fu.
Among Cao Quan's sons, Cao Fu ranks fourth, isn't he the fourth master Fu?
"Come on, please hurry up and meet Mr. Yu." Cao Fu raised his hand and pointed at the jade pillar very rudely, asking Qingwen to go over and salute.
A prodigal, Cao Yong was so angry that he wished he could smash Cao Fu's pretty face with a punch.
Qingwen didn't ask any questions, turned around obediently, and came to visit Yuzhu again.
Yuzhu looked at Qingwen calmly, savoring the description of Qingwen in "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his heart.
She has a slim waist, slim shoulders, and her eyebrows look a bit like Lin Daiyu's.
She is prettier than others, and has a clever mouth. She dresses like a Xi Tzu every day. She is good at talking in front of others and is better at grasping the tip.
If she says nothing, she will raise her eyes and curse people in a devilish tone.
Well, Cao Fuquan also has some eyesight. In terms of appearance alone, Lin Yaner is indeed much more beautiful than Qingwen. However, Qingwen's skin is dazzlingly white.
It can be said that everyone is good at winning!
Lin Daiyu's prototype is too complicated to be easily identified.
Therefore, Yuzhu couldn't figure out whether Qingwen's features looked like Lin Daiyu's.
A friend's wife and maidservant are not to be played with.
Yuzhu is not a lecherous person, so he will naturally not show his appreciation for Qingwen in front of others.
However, Lin Yan'er misunderstood. She thought Yuzhu was attracted to Qingwen, so she took advantage of Qingwen to greet her and said with a smile: "I have a sister who looks exactly like you. She is very annoying. ."
Cao Fu was just a second-generation ancestor who was just waiting to die. He didn't hear the connotation of Lin Yan'er's words. However, Cao Yong's eyes lit up, he stared at Qingwen, and looked at her deeply.
Yuzhu couldn't say anything in front of everyone, but in his heart he blamed Lin Yan'er for being troublesome.
Cao Fu and Qingwen have been together day and night for many years and have a deep relationship. Qingwen will definitely be very sad if they are separated rashly.
After the Qingwen incident, Cao Yong felt that there was hope that the murder case involving Cao Quan could be solved.
